Read a random definition: protection covenant

A quick definition of bodily heir:

A bodily heir is a person who is entitled to receive property from someone who has died without leaving a will. They are usually a close relative, like a child or grandchild. In some cases, a bodily heir can also inherit great wealth. The term "heir" can also refer to someone who inherits property through a will or by law. It's important to note that an heir doesn't actually own anything until the person who left the property has passed away.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A person who is entitled to inherit property from a deceased person according to the laws of intestacy. This person is a lineal descendant of the deceased, excluding a surviving spouse, adopted children, and collateral relations.

Example: John dies without a will. His son, Tom, is his bodily heir and is entitled to inherit his property according to the laws of intestacy.

This example illustrates how a person can become a bodily heir when someone dies without a will. In this case, John's son, Tom, is his lineal descendant and is entitled to inherit his property.
